Hardelot Les Pins is a Tom Simpson masterpiece on France's Opal Coast. Could it be one of the best golf courses in Europe?

Hendrik spent the week with the Vingroup team at Golden Gate Ha Long where we're delivering 2 courses within this mammoth new conurbation. 6200ha of reclaimed land. 6 residential districts. A high speed rail that will more than halve the commute from Hanoi. We hope to start shaping in 2027.

The greatest upset in Walker Cup history is still hard to fathom 50 years later
Great Britain & Ireland hadn't won the Walker Cup since 1938 and was a heavy underdog again in 1971, only to pull off a victory that leaves some of the vanquished Americans still shaking their heads
